I haven't been able to log in Blogger for 3 days. Im' currently trying to import this blog into Wordpress, but blogger is not playing nice. But at least it finally let me log in. So I'll see you on the new Wordpress Recipe Blog or on Facebook!

For the pictured pies, I used Puff Pastry for the crusts although I use either Pillsbury Pie crusts or the Puff Pastry crusts. I just realized that the original recipe I have always used for my Chicken Pies is slightly different than the one that has been on the blog. I "assumed" the recipe on Pillsbury's web site (which I copied and pasted onto my blog because I was too lazy to type it) would

32 ServingsPrep/Total Time: 10 min. “I came up with this rich creamy dip when I had a small amount of canned pumpkin left in the fridge after my holiday baking,” recalls Laurie LaClair of North Richland Hills, Texas. TIP: “It is also great served with sliced pears and apples, or as a spread on zucchini bread or any other nut bread,” Laurie suggests. Ingredients: 1 package (8 ounces) cream

I was in the mood for 'something' yesterday so I went into the kitchen to see what I could find. My eyes fell upon a bag of McIntosh Apples. mmmm... I almost ate that apple, but then I thought... Apple Crisp! It's hard to screw up an Apple Crisp. It pretty well uses whatever you happen to have on hand. I don't normally use just McIntosh apples for pies or crisps because they get kind of

I went shopping for canned pumpkin the other day to use in my Pumpkin Cake Roll, only to discover there is STILL a Recall on canned pumpkin! What the heck?

Last night I made Pioneer Woman's Favorite Meatloaf. It's very easy. Unless you're also working while making it and have to stop to talk to customers, do quotes and take orders in between prep steps. See this? Pretty, huh? With the yummy sauce on top right before putting it in the oven? Mmmm... There's just one teency-weency little problem. The bacon was supposed to go on before the sauce.

The recipe for Crusty Pizza Dough is on page 72 of the KitchenAid's little Recipe Book that comes with the Stand Mixers. It's a wonderful little book! It's hidden on KitchenAid's web site, so if you want it, save it to your computer in case they ever take it off! I saved it in case I ever lose my little book! First, BIL Enrico Suave made a stuffed crust cheese pizza. Look at the knife fly!
